TEDtalk star, Leadership Academy's Swaniker: How to avoid another Mugabe

Fred Swaniker, founder of the African Leadership Academy whose TEDtalk has been watched over a million times, says the continent has the potential to solve its problems. But is hampered by leaders who don't serve the people. Speaking to Tim Modise he says the much touted growth rates are misleading as they don't lead to employment and economic opportunities for Africans. Swaniker says for South Africa’s economy to grow substantially, it has to become the preferred home for talented Africans from around the world: "A wide range of current policies undermine the country’s potential and role as economic leader on the continent." - Tim Modise Learn more about your ad choices.
